Everest Panorama Trek is an easier option than the Everest Base Camp Trek with the highest point reached being the Buddhist monastery of Tengboche. It is the best alternative option to experience the Khumbu region for people who wish to trek to Everest but have health concerns and difficulties with altitude.

This week-long trek in the lower valleys of Everest provides excellent views of the mountains of Khumbu Valley. It also lets you experience the culture of the local inhabitants, The Sherpas as Everest Panorama Trek visits all the famous villages of Namche, Khumjung, and Khunde. Heavily influenced by Buddhism, every village of the region has an interesting old monastery and several Mane Walls, Chortens, Stupas, and prayer flags throughout the trail.

Among these monasteries, the Tengboche monastery is the largest monastery in the Khumbu Valley and is considered one of the most important ones as well. Snow-covered mountains enclose the monastery in every direction providing a stunning climax to the trek. Ama Dablam (6812 meters), Kang Tega (6782 meters), Thamserku (6623 meters), and Kongde Range surround the monastery and provide an ecstatic feel to the place. This panorama also includes the highest (Everest at 8848 meters) and fourth highest (Lohtse at 8516 meters) in the world.

Though the Everest Panorama Trek is shorter, it certainly does not miss out on the scenery and excitement of trekking in the Himalayas, with panoramic views of most of the Khumbu peaks including the top of the world Mount Everest. Everest Panorama Trek is designed for people without a background in mountain walking, but who want to experience the amazing culture and scenery of the famous Khumbu region.

A dream come true!!! Everest Panorama Trek

I always wanted to see Mt. Everest and Himal and his team made this dream come true and it was better than I could ever imagine. Himal makes sure all your questions are answered via email before you go and make you feel safe. Rajan was incredible nice and helpful and made us feel welcome from the minute we met him at the airport. Ram and Dawa our guide and porter were just amazing. They made every minute on the trek very special. Ram shared all his knowledge about Nepal`s culture and about every peak we saw along the way. I have no words to thank them for this great experience and I will sure be back to do another trek with them. October - 2018.

FAQs

We always try to be flexible to design the trip itinerary for our client’s needs. However, if you are not convinced as our suggested itinerary then off-course you are always welcome to customize or change the trip itinerary.

Holiday should never be about making it to the final point quickly. Along your trek, we can add days at your request with additional costs to cover guides, porters, accommodation, and food.

An average physical fitness should be maintained prior to booking a trek. Any sort of illness or recent medical problems should be mentioned while booking a trip. Most of our itineraries are prepared to give you maximum time to acclimatize and pace-setting on the treks would be done according to your convenience. If you are having regular medication then tell us before the trip started which would be better for us to give you the physical feedback.

Our main concern is your safety. We never compromised on your safety during the Trekking and all our guides are properly trained and well equipped to take care of our client's safety even in remote areas as well.

There would be always back support in case of an emergency situation like severe high-altitude sickness or accident (which is least expected), you will be sent to the nearest hospital, if possible, otherwise rescued by a helicopter and sent you to the hospital as soon as possible. Since you are entirely liable for all the expenses incurred for the use of such emergency services, please make sure that your travel insurance covers both- medical and emergency evacuation costs.

It is not a problem at all because in a mountain most of the tea houses/lodges serve vegetarian food as well and our guide will take care at the time of cooking and on a camping trek, our cook and staffs will care all about the food section.

Most of the lodges in the mountains are basic like a guest house or tea house style. In a few major settlements Lodges are upgraded, where are the possibilities we provide you with the best accommodation! Also, it depends upon the service packages. 

Lately, most of the teahouses have electricity supply even with solar panels. So, charging your gadgets is not a problem at all. But charging your battery you should have to pay an additional fee (US$ 1 to 3 approx. per hour.), in order to get your gadgets to be charged.

Now a day’s most of the major village has a cell phone network connection. However, in a remote area where cell phone does not work, and even if there is not any other communication access then we send satellite phone along with our guide so you can easily be in touch with your family.

Yes, either you can store at the same hotel as you stayed or we can store your goods with us safely in our office free of cost.

The luggage must not exceed up to 20 kilograms. A trekking helper (porter) carries the baggage of fewer than 20 kilograms. This bag can be received at the end of each day’s trek and you should carry the rest of the weight as a day bag with all your money and valuables inside it.

This is a difficult thing to gauge. We have seen everything from USD 25 to USD 900 per person for guides and porters. Tipping is not required, but a small gesture of thanks to your guides and local porters. The level of the tip should reflect the level of satisfaction from and personal involvement with your guide. However, we recommend you to spend a minimum of 10% of your total trip cost for tipping the entire local staff.
